The manufacturing logic behind the world's most oddly specific objects
In short: Why does our industrial world produce items as niche as mechanical singing birds or bronzed baby shoes? This video explores the production of peculiar products and everyday essentials alike, examining the manufacturing processes that bring them to life.
The series investigates the intersection of human desire and industrial capability. It covers a wide spectrum of manufacturing, from common household staples like aluminum foil and contact lenses to highly specific replicas of fish and horses.
